!Perhaps this is just a curiosity of Bedford History--
The following extract came to me from Pioneer Library of Bedford County
Historical Society when I asked about the Whiskey Rebellion--
Extracted from a history, but unfortunately, they did not identify which
one, maybe the one of Bedford and Somerset counties.
During this time people who were protesting the whiskey tax erected poles
called "liberty-poles" which signified that they were active insurgents a
nd
those in sympathy with them in many parts of the region. Up on these pole
s
were hoisted flags bearing such inscriptions as "Death to Traitors",
"Liberty and No Excise," Equal Taxation and No Excise," etc.

!What amazes me is the very few German names. I think Brethren rendered u

involving war. If this is a diversion, please excuse my inexperience in
introducing it.

!It appears that he lost his land in Bedford County in 1808. It may hav
e been on account of his involvement with the Whiskey Rebellion, where up
on he moved to Ohio.
